Help please, xenon headlight driver side not working

Hi all

The xenon headlight on the driver side is not working and I thought it's the bulb so i bought a new set and changed both sides. However, it still not worked so swapped the the bulb and the connector (ignitor) on the passanger side and it's still not working. Please help....

Thank you very much

Also check wiring harnesses, they may come loose.

How do I check if the wire that connect to the ignitor is good or bad? and Where is the harnesses located?

Thank you very much.

The end of the ignitor wire that leads to the back is the harness. The place where the bulb fits in should be clean and free of rust. Mine for some reason was alittle rusted and enlarged so i had to squeeze the leads closer together for ignition.

I dropped off my car at the Mercedes dealer to have them check it out and they said the headlight module is gone and it costs 550 for the module + labor = 1050 total. Is it possible to do it yourself?

Thanks
